Not bad. My setup is this though: http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=7309927
I also highly advise you to get the quad core one as it's the same price as the duo.

I'd say go for the 640Mb GTS. The extra memory will be much better.

Thankyou guys just needed clarification.
Will check out the better gcard later on when am decided.

Also good news that the quads have dropped in price, but just wanted to know would it be a good idea to get an amd 64 x2 6000 my mate has one in work and his 3dmarks are over 10,000 theyr only 110 quid compared to the price of the quad discussed earlier

I will have to wait and see but thoughts please if ye can on the amd processor

much apreciated once again

No, if you want a CPU right now go for Intel Q6600 or at least for one of the new 1333 FSB Intel. Right now AMD are in trouble, unless their new processor due out hopefully later this year blow Intel away they could be in very deep trouble.

Your builds very close to mine. It should be very nice when it's built.

From what I heard already, the new prototype has been tested. They said it sucks up tons of power, runs hot, and is'nt as fast as the Intel. Also they will be more pricier compared to the Intel. Don't go to newegg for the CPU though! Newegg decided that with the surge of people buying the CPU they bumped up the price to $375. So go to another site to buy it.
